Background: It has been known that smoking and various lung diseases including lung cancer can cause lung function impairment. However, the impact of different types of lung function impairments, such as preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and airflow obstruction (AO), on the incidence and mortality of lung cancer in both general and never-smoker populations remains unclear. We wished to examine the effect of lung function impairments on lung cancer risks.

- The study investigates the relationship between resting heart rate (RHR) and the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in individuals without cardiovascular disease, aiming to clarify this connection.
- Out of over 476,000 screened participants from 1996 to 2017, 2,504 developed ESRD over a median follow-up of 13 years, revealing that higher RHR (especially ≥80 bpm) was linked to worse kidney health and an increased risk of ESRD.
- The findings suggest that RHR can serve as a significant risk factor for kidney disease, independent of traditional cardiovascular disease indicators.
